“Mission Accomplished”: Trump Declares Major US Strike Destroys Iran’s Key Nuclear Sites

Washington, D.C: In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, former U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed late Friday that American airstrikes had decimated three of Iran’s most critical nuclear facilities—Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. The strikes, launched under the codename “Operation Iron Verdict,” mark a turning point in U.S. involvement in the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict.

Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago residence, Trump hailed the operation as “a spectacular military success” aimed at crippling Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “Iran’s enrichment capability has been wiped off the map,” he declared during a televised address. “They must now choose peace, or face even stronger consequences.”

The precision air campaign, reportedly involving B-2 bombers and drone support, focused its heaviest assault on the Fordow facility buried deep beneath a mountain. According to U.S. intelligence sources, all aircraft have returned without losses, and real-time satellite imagery confirms the total destruction of key infrastructure.

This strike follows weeks of rising regional instability, with Iran being accused of covert weapons development and proxy attacks on Israeli and U.S. assets. Trump justified the action by calling Iran “the world’s leading state sponsor of terror” and claimed the mission was necessary to “neutralize an imminent threat.”

While the Pentagon has yet to issue a formal statement, insiders suggest the operation was coordinated closely with Israeli defense forces. Trump’s decision has also re-ignited debate in Washington, with critics warning of potential retaliation and the risk of a full-scale war.

In a post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump emphasized, “This is an HISTORIC MOMENT for the USA, for Israel, and for global security. Iran must now stop this madness, or what comes next will be far worse.”

Global powers, including Russia and China, have condemned the strikes and called for an emergency session of the UN Security Council. Iran, meanwhile, has vowed a “decisive response,” raising concerns of a wider regional conflict.
